Parking guidance method for vehicle using around view monitor

Abstract

There is provided a parking guidance method for a vehicle, of displaying a guidance line for guidance of perpendicular, parallel parking in an AVM synthetic image to provide parking guidance. The method includes entering a parking support mode, displaying parking type information in the parking support mode to select a parking type, displaying a parking reference region or a parking reference line with regard to a parking target space in which the vehicle is to be parked depending on the parking type, displaying a parking alignment reference line when the vehicle travels at a relatively low speed and a steering angle thereof is changed by a threshold value or more, and guiding the vehicle to be aligned such that the parking alignment reference line coincides with a parking section line based on the parking reference region or the parking reference line.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0050998, filed on May 7, 2013 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a parking guidance method, and more particularly, to a method of displaying a guidance line for guidance of perpendicular, parallel parking in an AVM synthetic image to provide parking guidance.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]An ‘around view monitor (AVM)’ uses a scheme of providing view images as viewed from above the vehicle to a driver in real time. Such a system includes respective one wide angle camera mounted below the front, back, left and right side-view mirrors of a vehicle such that 360 degrees around a vehicle without a dead angle may be covered and a more stabilized parking operation may be carried...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a parking guidance method using an around view monitor (AVM). The method involves displaying parking type information, a parking reference region or a parking reference line, and a parking alignment reference line. The vehicle is then guided to align with the parking alignment reference line and a parking section line based on the parking reference region or the parking reference line. This enables easy parking in a safe manner.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of displaying an expected outer trajectory P1 of turning of vehicle on an around view monitor (AVM) screen in the scheme as described above, a guidance line may not be appropriately displayed thereon due to a limitation in a view amount on the AVM screen that displays surrounding information of a vehicle in 360 degrees around the vehicle on a single screen.

Further, a problem in which a driver cannot intuitionally and easily determine whether an extent of matching between a guidance line and a parking section line is precise may occur.
